Environmental Impact Assessment – EIA

Note

Assessment of impact of anthropogenic infrastructures for wild reindeer habitat loss and fragmentation.

Dorber et al. 2023 presents a first application of functional habitat to the assessment of the impact of hydropower on wild reindeer in Norway.

Go here for an application of ConScape for reindeer habitat assessments, including interactive web maps in the Google Earth Engine:

  • Wild reindeer maps: where you can explore maps produced using analytical approaches to illustrate how reindeer view the landscape in terms of suitable resources, functional areas, corridors, barriers, and human footprint,

  • Comparison with expert-based maps: where you can compare maps produced using analytical approaches (using also ConScape) to maps produced through expert assessment for the Norwegian Wild Reindeer Quality Norm assessment - Delnorm 3.
